The Girl With the Red Scarf | ✔️ [DriKshit]

Vengeance and Destruction

DRISHTI'S POV

I averted my gaze away from Rakshit as I pulled apart and started fixing my hair, which had become a mess, thanks to the sleeping and cuddling. But it was after weeks that I had slept so peacefully, without any nightmares. Tonight - there was magic in the air. I could feel it. I could sense it's present around me, around us. Tonight - something between us has changed, though I couldn't quite figure out what. Throughout these five months, Rakshit and I have come closer and closer, till we were the closest to each other after family. But today, we came a little more closer, the physical gaps between us filled in a little. Yes, maybe we were about to kiss and maybe that would have been a breach of friendship restrictions, but still, I was willing to break a few rules for him (as if you already aren't breaking enough rules!).

Rakshit - Divya? Is everything fine? Why are you crying?

His deep voice broke my trance. It took me a few moments to comprehend the words that he had just spoken into the phone, his face set in a frown.

Divi is crying? Why?

I looked at Rakshit and our eyes met. He looked worried.

Rakshit - Yes, yes, she is with me, but why? - Divya - I assure you she is perfectly fit and fine - she is safe with me - what's wrong -?

Me - What's wrong? Is Divya okay?

As our eyes met, I saw his worried expression change into a horrified one. What is happening?

Rakshit - Yes, yes, we are coming. Don't worry, she is safe with me. I will never ever let her out of my sight - yes, Divya - yes, I will call you once we are inside the car - yes - okay.

He hung up, I looked at him. His face was grave and the worry was evident im his eyes.

Rakshit - Drishti, your life is in danger, we have to leave - now.

Beloved Drishti,

As I promised you in my previous texts that if you do not grant me a visit happily, I have the power to force you to do the same. I came to visit you today, but you were not home. Now, tell me, do decent girls from good families stay out this late? I am afraid not. Or - are you losing your decency? Anyways, my sources tell me that you are out with the same guy who stopped us from uniting at the hospital, a little too nosy, isn't he? But don't worry honey, he will get the right treatment, after all he has dared to touch you - yes, you are mine - only mine. So, buttercup, tell me, how many loved ones are you ready to sacrifice? I have already given a little warning to your sister - I had to buttercup, considering the dare devil bitch she is. But then, you are not the kind of person who believes in threats, are you? Don't worry, buttercup, I will not hurt anyone. All I want is just a visit, a visit from you, alone. Or else, the video of your unmarried sister losing her virginity with her boyfriend will be all over the internet within twenty four hours. If you try to contact the police, the video will be up sooner and I think you would know better by now. Buttercup, you know where to find me.

Not so truly yours,
Akash

The letter reeked of ink and blood and the more I stared at the dirty red handwriting, the more I felt like throwing up. My hands shook a little as I set the yellowish paper down on my bedside table, my insides churning. No, this was not the person I had spent years knowing and loving, this was someone entirely different. But then, maybe it was all my fault in the end - I loved the wrong person and then I tried to unlove him and now, it was me sitting at the edge of destruction. Not self destruction, but the destruction of the ones I have loved.
